Any one of those nations can host it individually. :facepalm:

 

Precisely the reason they are bidding together. If all three bid separately and you had one bid from Africa, you would risk vote splitting  and allowing Africa to win.

And all three wanted to bid separately? Highly unlikely if you ask me. In 2014 teams mourned about traveling to Manaus, because it was so far away, i can only imagine what it will be if they had to play in Canada and next in Mexico. That would be a joy. 

 

Just like with the Olympics, it seems open bidding is a thing of the past and it doesn't matter who brings the best platform, everything is a calculated scheme. They should make the mandatory rotation official, we are more or less using it for years now. And i was so happy for a canadian bid, now.. And the US will have the Olympics, they should bug out of this..

Mexico is getting the shaft here. I also read that USA will host 60 games and the other two just 10 each. And QFs onwards all in the USA.

 

Exactly why this bid is the most stupid idea I've hears... I mean why only 20 games outside USA... better let them host them on their own.

 

The real reason behind is that all 3 football federations want to cash their part in US dollars, so they will accept this idiot plan :sick:

People on the pitch are Lyon fans from southern stand, forced to go onto the pitch for their own security, after Besiktas fans threw flares and firecrackers on them.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
